Diesel Generator - 1 & Diesel Generator - 2:
Capacity: 3.5MW
Engine: Daihatsu
Alternator: Leroy somer (Nidec)
Speed controller: Woodward UG25+Actuator / 2301E governor
AVR: D700 (Nidec)

Diesel Generator - 3:
Capacity: 1.25MW
Engine:Cummins QSK50
Generator: Leroy somer (Nidec)
Speed controller: Electronic fuel injection + Cummins CM2150)
AVR: D550 (Nidec)

The goal is to operate DG-1, DG-2, and DG-3 in parallel using Woodward DSLC controllers. The plan is to run DG-3 in load control mode, while DG-1 and DG-2 will operate in droop mode. When DG-3 is operating as a standalone generator, it should be set to Isochronous mode and voltage control mode. How can I achieve this configuration with the DSLC controller?
